 +**LUNAR LANDER**
 +
 +There are a few versions of LUNAR LANDER themed games, but 'lander' is specific to System V UNIX systems as it makes use of the curses library for line drawing.  It will compile and display on BSD, but doesn't have the same line drawing capabilities of SVR3.  'lander' was written by Stacey Campbell in 1989 at HCR corporation in Toronto, Ontario.

 +**HOW TO PLAY**
